Sanitary container



May 5, 1936. H. JUBA ET AL SANITARY CONTAINER Filed Feb. 13, 1935 Inventors I fiama/d (f fi (6/70 Farej q Attorney Patented May 5, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to a sanitarybottle or container, the general object of the invention being to make the bottle of paper or paper pulp or the like so that the container can be manufactured so cheaply that it can be thrown away after once being used and which can be dipped in paraffin or wax so as to make the same sanitary.

Another object of the invention is to form the bottle or container with a'closed top, with the neck of the container having interior and exterior rows of perforations or recesses therein so arranged and formed that the top can be removed by a twisting motion.

Another object of the invention is to make the bottom of the bottle or container of a separate piece so that the device can be filled from the bottom, with means for firmly attaching the bottom to the lower end of the container and in a liquid-tight manner.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Fig. l is a vertical sectional view through the device.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view.

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view.

Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

As shown in these views, the bottle or container includes a bottom body I which may be made in the form of a milk bottle or in any other suitable form and the top is closed as shown at 2 while the bottom is open. The device is formed of paper pulp or the like and is molded to form the body and the top and the body may be reinforced by the internal and external longitudinally extending ribs 3, though if desired, either the internal or external ribs may be omitted. Adjacent the top, the body is formed with an annular row .1 of internal recesses 5 and with an exterior annular row of recesses 6, the two rows of recesses lying in the same transverse plane but with the recesses of one row alternating with the recesses of the other row as shown in Fig. 4. These two rows of recesses permit the top of the container to be separated from the rest of the container by a twisting motion imparted to the top.

The lower open end of the container is adapted to be closed by a bottom piece I formed of the same material, preferably, as that of the body and said bottom piece is provided with a depending flange 8 preferably shaped as shown' and after the contents has been placed in the body through the opening in the lower end thereof, this end piece is put in place and rests against an internal flange 9 formed in the lower end of the body and then the lower extremity of the body is rolled over the flange as shown at l0 after which a piece of metal H of trough-shape in cross-section .is pressed upon the rolled extremity of the body to hold the parts together in a liquid-tight manner. This piece of metal crimped on the bottom-of the container will hold the parts firmly together and prevent the parts from unraveling and also prevents leakage and permits the device to be roughly handled without damage. As before stated, the device is thrown away after being used once so that it avoids the numerous handling operations now necessary in handling milk bottles and the like such as in washing, sterilizing and collecting the empty bottles, and the top being formed with the body and bottom firmly connected with the lower end of the body prevents any germs from entering the device.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

We claim:

A container of the class described comprising a body having a closed upper end and a lower open end, inner and outer annular rows of recesses in the top part of the body for permitting the top part to be separated from the rest of the body, and means for closing the lower end of the body.
